A Pack Mule By A Different Name

A Pack Mule By A Different Name

I hate to call her a pack mule, a name she gave herself, but in essence our friend Brittany has been just this and more for us. She made it feel like Christmas on our boat last night. Our gem of a friend went back to the states and received many emails on our behalf of certain products or pieces that we would love to have if she had the room in her luggage to bring back to us. Eben was all excited about the new tools and pieces he received that were missing to finalize some projects. Arias modeled off her new rash guard for us, and Ellia wore her sunglasses a full five minutes (which is impressive for a child that will not wear any sun protection without throwing a fit.) Not only is she Santa Claus, a good Karma Embassador, and a great friend all rolled up into one, but she is a blessing since without her help we wouldn’t have been able to complete our autopilot project on time for our expected departure. Now for our next pack mule, Jaala Stolz, watch out! Actually with our near future destination being the DR I think that we will be able to get most of what we are accustomed to back home from their big box stores that our pack mule demands may not be as many. But no matter where you are, as long as you are on a boat there is always something from back home that you wish was more accessible in your new dream destination. Thus the job of pack mule will always thrive on.

Hello, I look forward to looking through your blog tomorrow. As for some of our "can't live without", new as of this year we have been loving TVP (textured vegetable protein) writing a blog about it now. We are not vegetarian but this stuff stores amazingly well, it's dehydrated so it doesn't take up much room and makes amazing amounts of food, its a substitute for ground beef really. Look into it. Bathing suits, are also very high in the demand list. With the sun, salt, and ocean the girls and myself go through swimsuits by quickly. The materials wear down every six months or so I would say and so we usually get those brought in. And a guilty pleasure, Nutella! I love the stuff and its a nice treat with crepes every now and again.Thanks for following the blog, it means a lot to me.

Wowsah, that pic of Arias says alot! What little sassy pants she KNOWS she's gorgeous!! Little Ellia's hair is so blonde now too! They remind me of Gia at that age! Bon voyage on your trip to DR!! xoxo
